:00:00. > :00:12.Apple's chief executive hits back at a European ruling

:00:13. > :00:17.that the company owes Ireland billions in back taxes.

:00:18. > :00:21.A new year and new skills to learn, as terror drills become part

:00:22. > :00:25.Also coming up, Donald Trump reinforces his tough

:00:26. > :00:26.stance on immigration, and once again it's

:00:27. > :00:34.We will build a great wall along the southern border,

:00:35. > :00:36.and Mexico will pay for the wall.

:00:37. > :00:43.And $200 million goes up in smoke when a test-fire of a SpaceX rocket

:00:44. > :01:00.The row between Apple and the European Commission

:01:01. > :01:05.On Tuesday the Commission ruled that Apple had to pay billions of euros

:01:06. > :01:10.Both Ireland and Apple say they will appeal the ruling,

:01:11. > :01:14.which Apple boss Tim Cook says is politically motivated.

:01:15. > :01:17.He's defended Apple's handling of its tax affairs,

:01:18. > :01:21.saying it pays a combined global rate of more than 26%.

:01:22. > :01:26.He told Irish media that the company had done nothing wrong.

:01:27. > :01:36.It's clear that this comes from a political place.

:01:37. > :01:44.And, unfortunately, it's one of those things

:01:45. > :01:51.When you're accused of doing something that is so foreign

:01:52. > :01:58.to your values, it brings out an outrage in you.

:01:59. > :02:01.The European Commission's Competition chief,

:02:02. > :02:03.Margrethe Vestager, has responded to Tim Cook's comments,

:02:04. > :02:05.saying that the Commission's decision had nothing

:02:06. > :02:11.We rest our practices on something very fundamental

:02:12. > :02:17.And the thing is that even if it weren't like this,

:02:18. > :02:21.we always have the courts to keep us on a straight line based on fact.

:02:22. > :02:26.Because I don't think the courts will hear any kind of political

:02:27. > :02:30.opinions, or feelings, or what's in your stomach, or whatever.

:02:31. > :02:37.They want the facts of the case and that is what we have to produce.

:02:38. > :02:40.For more on this, let's turn to our North America

:02:41. > :02:47.Technology Ccorrespondent, Dave Lee.

:02:48. > :02:56.Tim Cook clearly is taking things very personally. Isn't it a risky

:02:57. > :03:01.tactic to make a moral argument for a multi-billion dollar corporation

:03:02. > :03:05.against paying taxes? I think depending on your view of Apple

:03:06. > :03:09.prior to this row, that is one way to take it. The company has gone

:03:10. > :03:13.through a huge amount of effort to move itself around the world and

:03:14. > :03:17.minimise what it pays in tax. Apple maintains it has done up within the

:03:18. > :03:22.law and it is some of the numbers that the European Commission were

:03:23. > :03:26.talking about earlier in the week. -- its disputes some of the numbers.

:03:27. > :03:31.The European Commission says it was talking about subsidiaries, not

:03:32. > :03:34.Apple as a home. -- as a whole. It is all getting very bogged down in

:03:35. > :03:40.technicalities. Tim Cook is making an emotional argument in interviews

:03:41. > :03:46.today. It is similar to how Apple dealt with the row earlier this year

:03:47. > :03:50.that encryption and it is all about gaining public support. It seems

:03:51. > :03:52.they are using the same tactics to be that had been in the hope they

:03:53. > :03:58.will get the backing in the business community, but also the general

:03:59. > :04:02.public in an instant in tax. When a big company doesn't come to avoid so

:04:03. > :04:04.much tax it will be a much harder sell to the public than the

:04:05. > :04:10.encryption row was earlier this year. This whole issue is dividing a

:04:11. > :04:16.lot of opinion that Apple does seem to be gaining some support? -- but

:04:17. > :04:21.Apple does seem to be gaining some support? There has been some notable

:04:22. > :04:23.support from the former EU commissioner who had a reputation

:04:24. > :04:30.for being very harsh and technology companies. Many people refer to her

:04:31. > :04:36.as dearly. She has written in the Guardian newspaper to say that while

:04:37. > :04:38.a lot has to be done with taxes, particularly with multinationals

:04:39. > :04:44.like Apple, retrospective punishment on the right way to go. While she

:04:45. > :04:47.says that Apple does need to perhaps pay more into the tax kitty around

:04:48. > :04:58.the world, particularly in Europe, she thinks punishing isn't the way

:04:59. > :05:01.to do it. It is an interesting way to how a European Works, saying this

:05:02. > :05:05.is in the right thing to do. Apple will be very pleased with that

:05:06. > :05:07.support, certainly. An issue that won't be resolved any time soon.

:05:08. > :05:10.Thank you, David Lee. that appears to be Donald Trump's

:05:11. > :05:15.latest message as he pushes on with his campaign

:05:16. > :05:17.for the White House. On Wednesday he went to Mexico

:05:18. > :05:19.to meet President Pena Nieto, and then flew back to the US to lay

:05:20. > :05:23.out his tough stance on immigration Our Washington Correspondent,

:05:24. > :05:28.Laura Bicker, reports. There is to be no pivot,

:05:29. > :05:33.no softening of his stance. Donald Trump is holding his course

:05:34. > :05:35.on immigration, starting with the policy that has become

:05:36. > :05:40.so popular with his voting base. We will build a great wall along

:05:41. > :05:44.the southern border. And Mexico will pay

:05:45. > :05:47.for the wall. As for the millions in the country

:05:48. > :05:53.illegally, Mr Trump says it is time for them to leave, only then can

:05:54. > :05:57.they apply to come back. Illegal immigrants who have

:05:58. > :06:01.committed crimes I am going to create a new special

:06:02. > :06:07.deportation task force, focused on identifying and quickly

:06:08. > :06:11.removing the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants in America

:06:12. > :06:16.who have evaded justice, just like Hillary Clinton

:06:17. > :06:19.has evaded justice. This was a very different tone

:06:20. > :06:28.to the one he had taken earlier with the Mexican president

:06:29. > :06:32.on a surprise visit. We didn't discuss

:06:33. > :06:36.payment of the wall. However, this was disputed

:06:37. > :06:38.by President Pena Nieto, "At the beginning of

:06:39. > :06:43.the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear Mexico

:06:44. > :06:49.would not pay for the wall." Just one more controversy

:06:50. > :06:53.in a campaign which has It is a tale of two Trumps. We have

:06:54. > :07:14.is the BBC's Katty Kay. It is a tale of two Trumps. We have

:07:15. > :07:21.-- who do you believe? The person I went to Mexico is Trump trying to be

:07:22. > :07:24.a good behaviour. The person who spoke so fervently in Arizona is the

:07:25. > :07:29.person tromp really is. He seemed more comfortable with it, that is a

:07:30. > :07:33.difference of opinion in his campaign. All of those campaign

:07:34. > :07:36.officials who had been telling us that Donald Trump would suffer his

:07:37. > :07:41.position on immigration, he refuted all of them and you can only suggest

:07:42. > :07:44.that somewhere between flying back from Mexico City to Phoenix he

:07:45. > :07:49.decided he will take a tough line on immigration. And it is a short trip.

:07:50. > :07:54.Does this mean he has given up on trying to encourage the Hispanic

:07:55. > :07:58.vote? Realistically, Donald Trump's chances after all of the things he

:07:59. > :08:03.has said, all of the video clips about calling Mexicans rapists and

:08:04. > :08:06.criminals, noting the wall, some of the disparaging comments, he was not

:08:07. > :08:11.going to improve his standing with Hispanic voters whatever he did. The

:08:12. > :08:14.trip to Mexico was more about looking presidential than winning

:08:15. > :08:18.Hispanic voters. The speech last night was about shoring up his base,

:08:19. > :08:23.giving them what he wanted, chucking red meat at the crowd. I think he's

:08:24. > :08:27.decided he's not going to get those Hispanic voters so he will stick to

:08:28. > :08:32.to his principles. What about moderate voters, those who might be

:08:33. > :08:36.wavering? I just don't know how many moderate voters there left. I really

:08:37. > :08:41.don't know how many waverers, after 1.5 years of two candidates who are

:08:42. > :08:45.incredibly well known either through reality TV or being in the public

:08:46. > :08:49.eye for the last 20 years, it's very hard to believe that the numbers of

:08:50. > :08:57.Americans who have not made up their minds is very large. The number of

:08:58. > :09:00.the persuadable is very small this time round. They also two of the

:09:01. > :09:04.most unpopular candidates in American history. There has got to

:09:05. > :09:09.be somebody out there thinking, "I can't do it for one or the other."

:09:10. > :09:12.We know there are many people who don't want to vote for either and

:09:13. > :09:17.bolster home during this election. What Donald Trump was doing last

:09:18. > :09:20.night in Arizona was making sure those people who voted for him in

:09:21. > :09:25.the primary turnouts to the polls on November the 8th. This will be an

:09:26. > :09:28.election campaign about making sure your supporters are terrified of the

:09:29. > :09:33.other candidate getting elected and that gives them an incentive to turn

:09:34. > :09:39.out. Very quickly, do you think President Pena Nieto is regretting

:09:40. > :09:42.anything today? I can't see how this helps him. He looked like somebody

:09:43. > :09:46.who didn't stand up to Donald Trump in a press conference. He invited

:09:47. > :09:52.this terribly unpopular man, and then Donald Trump gives him a slap

:09:53. > :09:53.in the face by giving that red meat speech. And so it continues. Thank

:09:54. > :09:57.you for joining me. 12 million pupils returned

:09:58. > :09:59.to school today in France, but with more security measures

:10:00. > :10:01.in place than usual because of concerns over

:10:02. > :10:03.the threat of terrorism. Armed police were on patrol as many

:10:04. > :10:06.staff and students entered And as part of the curriculum,

:10:07. > :10:10.pupils will now be taught to hide, escape and help each other

:10:11. > :10:13.in the event of an attack. There's no specific new threat

:10:14. > :10:16.against French schools, just a general awareness that

:10:17. > :10:19.as prime symbols of the French republic and as prime purveyors

:10:20. > :10:22.of the French secular nonreligious culture, they are,

:10:23. > :10:25.in the eyes of many jihadists, That's why as much tougher

:10:26. > :10:30.security outside schools 3,000 reservists are

:10:31. > :10:36.on patrol outside schools. But that's because the patrols

:10:37. > :10:43.are randomly designated There is new money for security

:10:44. > :10:48.at entrances to schools, Every school in the country has

:10:49. > :10:54.to have a simulation exercise this term, simulating not

:10:55. > :10:56.a fire or a natural disaster, That's because the response

:10:57. > :11:04.of the children has to be different. In a terrorist incursion,

:11:05. > :11:08.if you can, you escape. If you can't, you stay put,

:11:09. > :11:12.stick together, keep quiet. Even kindergarten children will be

:11:13. > :11:15.having this exercise, and they'll be learning

:11:16. > :11:17.through a game. The game is called

:11:18. > :11:22.The King Of Silence. The idea is that these tiny children

:11:23. > :11:25.who, in the event of a real terrorist incursion,

:11:26. > :11:28.would have no idea what was going on, that they learn to stay as long

:11:29. > :11:31.as possible for their own safety Now for a look at some

:11:32. > :11:42.of the day's other news. A powerful earthquake

:11:43. > :11:44.with a magnitude of 7.1 has been The epicentre of the quake

:11:45. > :11:48.was around 170 kilometres northeast of the town of Gisborne -

:11:49. > :11:53.off the coast of the North Island. Residents of a small

:11:54. > :11:56.community on the island have been asked to evacuate -

:11:57. > :11:58.but there are no immediate reports Swiss prosecutors are investigating

:11:59. > :12:03.the former German football star, Franz Beckenbauer, for alleged

:12:04. > :12:05.corruption relating to Germany's successful bid to host

:12:06. > :12:08.the 2006 World Cup. Police raided Mr Beckenbauer's

:12:09. > :12:13.property in Austria as part The Swiss Attorney General's Office

:12:14. > :12:19.says Beckenbauer and three others are suspected of fraud

:12:20. > :12:21.and money laundering. Gabon says it has arrested more

:12:22. > :12:28.than 1,000 people as it tries to restore order after disputed

:12:29. > :12:30.presidential election President Ali Bongo condemned

:12:31. > :12:34.opposition supporters His rival in the election,

:12:35. > :12:39.opposition leader Jean Ping, told the BBC that on Wednesday night

:12:40. > :12:42.a government helicopter Opposition supporters accuse

:12:43. > :12:49.the government of rigging the poll. A law that comes into effect today

:12:50. > :12:54.in the German state of Bavaria allows the authorities to tell

:12:55. > :12:57.new refugees where to live. All refugees dependant on the state

:12:58. > :13:00.for benefits and housing will be allocated a town where they must

:13:01. > :13:03.settle for up to three years. Supporters say the law

:13:04. > :13:06.helps refugees integrate But critics say that integration

:13:07. > :13:13.depends more on helping refugees Tens of thousands of

:13:14. > :13:21.demonstrators have gathered in the Venezuelan capital,

:13:22. > :13:23.Caracas, to call for the removal The opposition blames the

:13:24. > :13:27.president for a deep economic crisis in Venezuela,

:13:28. > :13:32.and says his government has failed to tackle widespread

:13:33. > :13:34.corruption and crime. President Maduro has accused his

:13:35. > :13:39.opponents of plotting a coup. BBC Mundo's Luis

:13:40. > :13:55.Fahardo is in Miami. This has been brewing for some time.

:13:56. > :14:03.Why has it come to a head now? There is an actual deadline approaching,

:14:04. > :14:06.in electoral terms, the opposition against President Maduro. It is

:14:07. > :14:10.trying to get the electoral authorities to allow for a

:14:11. > :14:17.referendum, a recall referendum. This referendum has to be done

:14:18. > :14:21.before January, in case it succeeds for calling new elections. If it

:14:22. > :14:24.doesn't, President Nicolas Maduro will have two lead. But the vice

:14:25. > :14:29.President from his own party would probably stay in office. It is a big

:14:30. > :14:32.deal for the opposition to have to get that done now, to try to

:14:33. > :14:39.convince the electoral authorities to authorise the remaining parts of

:14:40. > :14:43.the referendum to go ahead. Of course, this is all in a context of

:14:44. > :14:47.great social crisis, of great economic crisis. As you know,

:14:48. > :14:54.Venezuela has the highest inflation in the world, and growing discontent

:14:55. > :15:01.in many two wards of the government of President Nicolas Maduro. How

:15:02. > :15:04.unstable as the country right now? You would expect any kind of

:15:05. > :15:09.government facing this amount of economic trouble to face very

:15:10. > :15:13.serious difficulties. As I was saying before, Venezuela is having

:15:14. > :15:16.major, major economic problems and an economic breakdown in many ways.

:15:17. > :15:21.People are finding it difficult to get basic foods tables. In that

:15:22. > :15:27.sense, you would think it is a great opportunity for the opportunity.

:15:28. > :15:30.However, pro-government sectors have accused the opposition of not taking

:15:31. > :15:38.into account the everyday difficulties of Venezuelans, facing

:15:39. > :15:43.an obsession with getting the recall referendum. That said, they are not

:15:44. > :15:48.addressing the needs and hopes the Venezuelan people either. At this

:15:49. > :15:55.point, it has been going on for a while, a sort of stalemate between

:15:56. > :16:01.two forces in Venezuela. The opposition and the government led by

:16:02. > :16:06.President Nicolas Maduro, trying to continue the political movement that

:16:07. > :16:11.Hugo Chavez is set in motion more than one decade ago. At this moment,

:16:12. > :16:16.it is not clear that this will lead to a major change in the short term.

:16:17. > :16:19.Thank you very much for the latest on the situation in Venezuela.

:16:20. > :16:21.Africa's elephant population has plunged over the last decade,

:16:22. > :16:25.The worrying results of the Great Elephant Census have

:16:26. > :16:28.led campaigners to call for a world wide ban on the ivory trade.

:16:29. > :16:31.Researchers have warned that half of Africa's remaining elephants

:16:32. > :16:34.could be gone in the next nine years if the current rate of poaching

:16:35. > :16:37.Our Africa Correspondent, Alastair Leithead, has sent this

:16:38. > :16:45.Feeding time at an elephant orphanage in Nairobi.

:16:46. > :16:47.Half of these youngsters are here because their mothers

:16:48. > :16:55.All will be reintroduced back into the wild, but their future

:16:56. > :16:57.is threatened by the poachers, the traffickers, and by Asia's

:16:58. > :17:05.This particular elephant very close to us here, her name is Roie.

:17:06. > :17:07.She is almost three, and she was rescued

:17:08. > :17:11.This was after her mother had been killed by poachers.

:17:12. > :17:14.She was found trying to protect the dead body of the mother,

:17:15. > :17:18.who had been killed by poachers, and she was very young.

:17:19. > :17:20.The first Great Elephant Census, which counted animals

:17:21. > :17:23.across 18 African countries, says a third of the elephants had

:17:24. > :17:28.You see countries like Mozambique, which has lost half its elephants

:17:29. > :17:33.in the last five years, Tanzania 60% of its elephants,

:17:34. > :17:36.other hotspots around the Continent, and this big prediction that

:17:37. > :17:39.if things continue as they, if the poaching rates go on,

:17:40. > :17:42.then half the elephants in Africa will be gone in just

:17:43. > :17:49.Botswana has discovered a huge number of elephants have been

:17:50. > :17:55.With 40%t of the continent's elephants, it has been

:17:56. > :18:00.But, like everywhere else, the animals are under threat.

:18:01. > :18:03.RADIO: The cosy pretence that Botswana's elephants are well

:18:04. > :18:05.protected has been blown out of the water.

:18:06. > :18:07.This is the last thing I expected to see.

:18:08. > :18:11.Kenya's approach to conservation was illustrated quite

:18:12. > :18:19.with the biggest ever ivory burn of the country's stockpile.

:18:20. > :18:21.Despite the high price of black market ivory,

:18:22. > :18:23.campaigners here believe it is worth nothing,

:18:24. > :18:34.The situation facing elephants is critical,

:18:35. > :18:37.and I doubt that any country in the world would support any

:18:38. > :18:43.That is, you think, the solution to this?

:18:44. > :18:48.I think elephants deserve to be unthreatened again in the future.

:18:49. > :18:51.There should be no future ivory trade.

:18:52. > :18:56.If the poaching crisis continues then Africa's elephants,

:18:57. > :19:00.roaming wild across vast areas of this continent,

:19:01. > :19:09.Joining me now from our Nairobi studio is Howard Frederick,

:19:10. > :19:20.the Chief Technical Advisor to the Great Elephant Census.

:19:21. > :19:26.That is a heartbreaking thought, the fact that elephants could completely

:19:27. > :19:32.disappear. Why is it so difficult to stop the ivory trade that most

:19:33. > :19:37.people are opposed to? I think stopping the ivory trade is such a

:19:38. > :19:43.massive task. The scale of these protected areas, just in Tanzania

:19:44. > :19:48.alone we surveyed about 300,000 square kilometres. Protecting these

:19:49. > :19:53.areas is incredibly difficult. With these mass-market of overseas

:19:54. > :20:00.demanding so much more ivory year-on-year, it is an incredibly

:20:01. > :20:12.difficult task. What is your senses actually do and why is it so

:20:13. > :20:15.important? -- your census. This is the first time we have been able to

:20:16. > :20:19.look at all the elephant population in one go. Usually we get the

:20:20. > :20:24.information in bits and pieces. We get news from Tanzania that some of

:20:25. > :20:32.our area may be under threat, or we get news from Gabon or camera room.

:20:33. > :20:35.But when we get a chance to really understand this can be covered it no

:20:36. > :20:39.longer becomes a rumour, you get to see this incredible decline going

:20:40. > :20:46.on. What we've been taking -- while we have been taking in various

:20:47. > :20:50.different countries, now we can begin to change our focus to look at

:20:51. > :20:54.the markets, we can actually begin to see the scale of this problem and

:20:55. > :20:58.how massive it actually is. The other really important aspect of

:20:59. > :21:01.this is we are beginning to see movement south. We've so far seen

:21:02. > :21:08.the forest elephants declined dramatically. There have been

:21:09. > :21:12.declines in Mozambique and Tanzania which are of great concern. But the

:21:13. > :21:15.worry if it will continue on moving south. This gave the problem is bad

:21:24. > :21:28.already been tried? There is so much more that hasn't been done yet. The

:21:29. > :21:31.scale of these areas is so huge. We have so many protected areas in

:21:32. > :21:35.Tanzania which have a very low number of scouts. Areas in the north

:21:36. > :21:44.of Tanzania, which is where I usually work, and areas north of

:21:45. > :21:51.thing can you -- north of us in Kenya, the number of scouts is not

:21:52. > :21:57.always effective enough to work. We need to keep up the effort. But in

:21:58. > :22:06.particular its controlling the markets and trying to impact of the

:22:09. > :22:16.in the countries. Thank you. A rocket operated by the aerospace

:22:17. > :22:19.company SpaceX has exploded on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral,

:22:20. > :22:22.in Florida, where it was being The force of the blast shook

:22:23. > :22:25.buildings several miles away and sent a plume of smoke high

:22:26. > :22:28.above the complex. SpaceX said "an anomaly" had

:22:29. > :22:30.occurred while the rocket Eric Berger is the senior space

:22:31. > :22:38.editor for the website Ars Technica. He has been following the events

:22:39. > :22:54.closely, and joins us now What does that mean exactly, "An

:22:55. > :22:59.anomaly"? It's not entirely clear, but what is known is that when you

:23:00. > :23:06.do one of these test fires, you test the engines before a launch. You

:23:07. > :23:13.load a lot of propellant into the rocket and these are explosive

:23:14. > :23:16.materials. There was obviously some kind of error or problem when they

:23:17. > :23:21.were putting the fuel into the rocket. This isn't the first rocket

:23:22. > :23:26.explosion that SpaceX has encountered. How big a setback is

:23:27. > :23:32.this latest incident? That is the big question. It's now is clear that

:23:33. > :23:36.the problem occurred when they were loading fuel onto the second stage

:23:37. > :23:41.of the rocket. This is a part of the rocket after it left off and reaches

:23:42. > :23:44.space, the second part takes over and delivers your satellite to

:23:45. > :23:49.wherever you wanted to go. You may recall in June 20 15th there was an

:23:50. > :23:56.issue with the second stage of the Falcon nine rocket. -- in June 2015.

:23:57. > :24:01.If this was a problem with the second stage again and not with the

:24:02. > :24:07.fuel it could be a major setback to have two problems with the second

:24:08. > :24:10.stage in the space of 12 months. So much stress is being put on the idea

:24:11. > :24:15.of developing the private space industry. Is it going too fast too

:24:16. > :24:18.soon, do you think? That's an interesting question and certainly

:24:19. > :24:21.one that will be asked over the next months and years as SpaceX pushes

:24:22. > :24:27.ahead. As you know, they're working on this rocket to deliver astronauts

:24:28. > :24:31.to the ISS within a couple of years. They want to build a bigger version

:24:32. > :24:39.and they are talking about going to Mars in the 2020s. These are grand

:24:40. > :24:42.ambitions. I think at some point Nasa will step forward and tell

:24:43. > :24:49.SpaceX they are delivering them -- paying them a lot of money and would

:24:50. > :24:54.like them to address the problems before moving onto things. It's

:24:55. > :24:59.rocket was supposed to be carrying a satellite for an Israeli telecoms

:25:00. > :25:03.industry. That is right, SpaceX does have a robust private business that

:25:04. > :25:08.has come into the market over the last few years. It has sold launches

:25:09. > :25:10.at a much reduced price to its competitors, including the Russians.

:25:11. > :25:14.Thank you very much for joining me. The skies above several

:25:15. > :25:16.East African countries were today lit by a blazing

:25:17. > :25:18."ring of fire" solar eclipse. A normal solar eclipse

:25:19. > :25:20.happens when the moon moves between the Earth and the sun,

:25:21. > :25:23.blocking out our star A "ring of fire" eclipse is also

:25:24. > :25:27.known as an annular eclipse, and happens when the eclipse

:25:28. > :25:31.isn't entirely total. These images were captured in Zambia

:25:32. > :25:38.this afternoon. Because of the movement of the moon,

:25:39. > :25:41.some of the sun is visible around the outside of the moon,

:25:42. > :25:43.leaving a stunning blazing ring of fire around

:25:44. > :25:52.the outside of the dark moon. Something that must have been quite

:25:53. > :25:53.a sight to see. Of course, now you don't even have to Google be

:25:55. > :26:11.of the team, goodbye. It was a good-looking day today
